Tom Brady built a reputation as an intense competitor on the gridiron during his 23-year NFL career.
But off the field, the former Patriots quarterback has cultivated an impressive network of friends and acquaintances across several sports and ventures.
Count NBA Hall of Famer and TNT analyst Charles Barkley among those who hold Brady in high regard, especially when it comes to his generosity and demeanor away from football.
“[Brady] and Wayne Gretzky are the two nicest GOATs [Greatest of All-Time] I’ve ever been around,” Barkley said during the latest episode of the “SI Media” podcast with Jimmy Traina.
